SW:TOR Release Date Announced

[DrWho1988]

The Old Republic now officially has a release date

To all of our Old Republic fans:

In 2008, along with our partners at LucasArts, we took to the stage to announce the development of the long-rumored BioWare massively multiplayer game set in the Star Wars™ universe. Over the past few years, we’ve pulled back the curtain and shown you why Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is the groundbreaking story-driven MMO you’ve always wanted, and how this game will change the MMO genre forever. We’ve given you a peek behind the scenes each week, showing you what it takes to create the largest MMO in development. Our team has traveled the world to give fans a chance to experience the game first-hand, and you’ve created an active pre-launch community larger than we’ve ever seen. Our Game Testing program has been a huge success, and thanks to you we have been able to achieve the BioWare level of quality our fans have come to expect in all of our games.

Today, the wait is truly over – for a release date, at least.

It is our pleasure to finally announce to you that Star Wars: The Old Republic will launch on December 20, 2011 in North America, and in Europe on December 22, 2011. This is an incredible moment for everyone at BioWare and our partners at LucasArts who have dedicated the past few years to build this extraordinary game. We appreciate the patience from the millions of fans who have been waiting for the game’s release. When we launch this groundbreaking MMO this holiday, we hope you agree that it will have been worth the wait.

May the Force be with you,
Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk
Co-founders, BioWare

While I do admit I have not seen any bot for the beta in progress, I would assume it will only be a few months, I had a complete bot for rift that I was beta testing about 3 months after it's conception, too bad rift was fail...

I wouldn't even bother botting in SWTOR. Trion actually stepped up their game and literally had detection out and mass banwave after banwave not even 30 days after legit bots were out. Bioware is 100x the company Trion is so just think of what kind of detection they will have in place at first hint of a bot working.

The days of lazy developers such as Blizzard are over sadly, but oh well. I will actually play SWTOR because it's fun.
